Job Details

Pageant Media is looking for a bright and confident senior reporter based in London to cover hedge funds for our global brand HFM, a data-led business information platform.

The role will be focused on the investment activity of funds of hedge funds (FoHFs) as well as the performance of hedge funds more generally.

We need someone hungry for news, who will come in and hit the phones to develop a network of sources, as well as apply data-driven analysis, to consistently uncover valuable information for our subscribers.

Capital-raising and retention are two of the industry’s biggest challenges, and our coverage aims to provide actionable insights on these topics.

Although based in London, you’ll be working alongside journalists and researchers across our global footprint to track and preview the investment decisions and portfolio returns of FoHFs, a sector that is undergoing significant structural change.

You’ll also be reporting on the performance of the funds they allocate to, providing subscribers with intelligence on how they compare to their peers, how different strategies and managers are performing and why.

Applicants should have proven journalism experience, preferably with business or finance publications, although we are open to reporters who have built up a strong track record covering news across other industries.

HFM is a data-led business intelligence platform for investor relations teams and C-suite executives at hedge funds, a focal point of Pageant Media’s growing suite of business intelligence tools for the global fund management industry.

Requirements:

  • A proven ability to break exclusive news and write compelling and insightful analysis
  • An understanding of the asset management industry, or financial/business reporting experience
  • Keen analytical and feature writing abilities
  • Excellent networking skills and a track record of developing useful contacts and sources
  • Excellent time management and organisational skills


Responsibilities:

  • Break daily news about investment decisions and performance of FoHFs and hedge funds, using source networks and data-driven analysis
  • Build relationships among the FoHF community by working the phones, arranging in-person meetings, and attending industry events
  • Coordinating news coverage with data research teams around the globe
  • Stay on top of wider industry trends impacting the hedge fund sector
  • Travel occasionally to cover industry conferences and build contacts
  • Write daily news articles and break stories
  • Pitch and work on well-researched analytical pieces with minimal supervision
  • Work with the editorial and production teams on the newsletter
  • Regularly interview and profile relevant industry experts
  • Build a large contact book


Requirements:

  • Proven journalism experience essential, preferably with another business or finance publication
  • Strong communication, organisational and time management skills
  • A journalism degree and/or professional training preferable
  • An interest in and some knowledge of the hedge fund industry would also be advantageous
  • Excellent communication skills, journalism ethics, multi-tasking and strong time management skills in a deadline-driven environment are a must


We offer our staff a range of benefits including:

  • Season Ticket loan
  • Free breakfast
  • Life Insurance
  • Birthday day off
  • 24 days annual leave increasing to 29 days
  • Friendly experienced team
  • D&I Committees
  • Global offices
  • Charity Day
